I'm excited to use the new Kirkwood version of openwrt on my pogoplug!

I can get the kernel on, but the other part is just a tarball of the other
files. I can mkfs.ext3 and just untar onto it, but I'm concerned about
wear-leveling on my mtd.

Ideally I would like to use the standard squashfs + jffs2 combo for optimum
space and the benefits of jffs2. The image builder for this target doesn't make
anything besides a directory tree of files.

Is this even possible? I've tried to mksquashfs and dd it onto my mtdblock2. I
get this:

SQUASHFS error: Major/Minor mismatch, older Squashfs 3.1 filesystems are 
unsupported
List of all partitions:
1f00            1024 mtdblock0 (driver?)
1f01            4096 mtdblock1 (driver?)
1f02          519168 mtdblock2 (driver?)
No filesystem could mount root, tried:  ext3 ext2 squashfs
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(31,2)

So maybe my version of mksquashfs is wrong. But am I even on the right path?
This procedure seems to be sort of "uncharted" territory at least from a google
perspective.
